The other day I needed to run to Target and then the grocery store. And at first I was just going to slip on whatever was laying about and put the hair in a band and go. But then I reconsidered and I took a shower and got dressed and did the hair and all that whole routine.
Now, some of you may be thinking that it's because I realized that every time you leave the house is an opportunity to make an impression. That you never know who you may encounter or run into out there in the world. So look your best! Dress to impress!
You'd be wrong.
Because what crossed my mind instead was this - "What if I get abducted?"
And then I looked at myself and decided that if I were to be abducted, I'd need to look way better than I did. Because once I escaped, and I would escape because I'm the deadly combo of feisty and determined, they'd interview me on the TV and I'd need to look better after escaping my 15 minutes of being 'napped. I could imagine some confusion and disappointment on the part of the reporter if I was looking all haggardly and they want to hear all about the days on end I spent trapped by this crazed loon who dared to 'nap me when I revealed, instead, that he'd only been able to hold on to me for 15 minutes. I can't disappoint the reporters.
So, I showered and dressed. And? Managed to not get 'napped. That was a good day.

But maybe if you didn't get all dressed up you wouldn't look abduction-worthy. It's a safety precaution.
Also, I can't help but think of the small town where my parents lives and the fact that neither my mother nor any of the other women there can go to The Wal-Mart without "putting their face on". After all, what if you ran into someone you know? They might gossip to all of your other supposed friends about it.
I'm with Craig. I'd rather abduct your hot ass than your haggard one. However, I can not and will not condone going out in your jamma pants. No.
I think it would be an awesome interview.
"You have been through so much today and yet you look fabulous!"
Craig: Ya know...I took the shower and brushed my hair but I still didn't put on makeup. I'd be shunned back home! :)
Randi: I've only gone to the store in my pj pants once and I am not proud of that. But the dogs needed food and I was quite lazy.
Ron: That was my thoughts! That would be a way better interview than me looking all scraggly and everyone thinking I'd gone through a week long ordeal of putting lotion in baskets just to find out that I'm too lazy to wash before I head out to Target. Ha!
